Space Odyssey - A trip to the fringes of our solar system. Visit the International Space Station, Mars, and Jupiter. Wave at our pale blue dot from the depths of our galaxy.

Blue Ocean - A submarine voyage below the waves. From bubbling underwater volcanoes, to sunken treasures. Swim beneath the icebergs of the North Sea, and up again.

Big City - A fast-paced ride through a bustling metropolis. Negotiate high traffic between dizzying skyscrapers, and take in the parks, markets and landmarks. Beep beep!

Ancient Egypt - A historical journey to the Great Pyramids. Learn about long-lost civilizations and hieroglyphics. Unearth ancient treasures, and solve the Sphinx mysteries.

What else can you do with Cubetto?

We believe toys are only as good as the memories they create, which is why we conceived Cubetto as the starting block into a world of magical maps, epic stories, engaging activities, and games.

Here's a handful of ideas...

Take him golfing - Build a mini-golf course. Code your way to birdies, eagles, and pars. Extra brownie points for holes in one, and double that for course creativity.

Design a maze - Flip your world map over and design a mind bending maze with tape. Use logic to find your way out with the blocks. Just don't reach the centre... trust us.

Make him draw - Grab a blank piece of paper. Strap some felt tips to Cubetto. Unleash your creativity. Draw fractals. Create patterns. Play with geometry and colours.

How is this Montessori?

It's non-prescriptive - Cubetto gives children the ability to think and play within the world they create, giving them freedom to express their own unique ideas and ways to solve problems.

It's child-centered - All they need to get started is a nudge in understanding that blocks = actions. Each block is a personal discovery to master the world around them.

It builds resilience - Solving problems with the blocks is about trial and error. Once a sequence is sent to Cubetto, the result is immediately obvious. If wrong, they can just start again.

It's social - Playtime with Cubetto is even better with friends. An active way for children to communicate, negotiate and problem-solve over a meaningful, tangible experience.

How is this coding?

Algorithms - Algorithms are sets of precise instructions. The blocks are a physical representation of specific instructions, and once compiled, form an actual algorithm children can touch.

The Queue - Instructions in programs are executed following precise orders. In other words, an intentional sequence of instructions, or a queue, represented by the Board's wavy line.

Debugging - The instructions are laid on the Board, and are immediately executed by Cubetto, so when he doesn't arrive where he should, fixing mistakes is as easy as swapping a block.

Recursions - Create a subroutine by "packing" a sequence in the function line, and call it in the queue with a blue block when you need it. Make long sequences shorter, and more efficient.

Award-winning design

Honoured with Gold Cannes Lions, Red-Dot Design Awards and MoMA exhibitions, Cubetto is more than a great educational toy. It's a little piece of design history. Something we hope you'll gift to your children, and that your children will one day gift to theirs.

Why coding for 3-year-olds?

Much like playing with Cubetto, computational thinking is about breaking down tasks into a logical sequence of steps to reach an objective. In fact, computational thinking is something we do every day to solve all kinds of problems, big and small.

Thinking about the world around us the same way we think in the world of Cubetto is empowering. It gives us the confidence to try things out, break the rules, and shape our environment. Which is pretty amazing!

Playtime with Cubetto is collaborative, because you learn that complicated tasks are best tackled by more than one person. It encourages creativity by showing you there is no right or wrong way to reach your objectives and make the impossible possible.

Who are you people?

We've gone from 2 founders in an apartment to a community of thousands. 4 years ago we decided to make coding in early years our mission. We never changed our minds. We're parents, dreamers, and creators...

This is our story...

Project timeline

We're prepared. The Cubetto Playset itself is already in production. What this campaign allows us to do is, produce, and launch 2 new maps, which we've meticulously planned for.

Tech specs

Why Kickstarter again?

We've been here before, on 2 separate occasions. In 2013, to successfully finance Cubetto's development, and in 2016 to successfully launch Cubetto at scale. Today we're back for a third time to make Cubetto's world bigger, brighter, bolder, by launching two brand new Adventure Packs.

When we first came to Kickstarter in 2013 we didn't just find a platform to fund a project. We found a home, and we found a community. We found a new, honest, and transparent way to connect our products directly to those who need them. We wouldn't have it any other way.

A small part in a big play

Our world is changing. What our children needed yesterday isn't necessarily what they will need tomorrow, but innovation doesn't always mean disregarding tradition.

If the present is a wall, with past and future on either side, we can only stand on the broad shoulders of those who came before us to peer confidently at what comes next.

The field of education technology is a relay race. Each previous innovator passing the baton of progress to the next. We just happen to be in the right place, at the right time.

Small as we are, we love what we do, because it makes us feel part of a much bigger mission. Join us again, and like us you can be part of something much bigger too.
